What Are Fusion Hair Extensions?
More and more people are turning to hair extensions as a way of creating much desired length and thickness to natural hair. Nowadays, there are many different application methods to choose from, from weaves to micro-loops to gluing they all claim to be the most durable, the least damaging and generally the best way to attach you hair extensions. So how do you know which method to choose? Ideally you want to choose something that is not going to damage your natural hair, isn’t going to cost you too much money and isn’t going to fall out.
Fusion bonding is a technique that takes strands of your own hair and fuses the extension hair to your own at the root. The hair is fused with the keratin protein of the natural hair using bonding glue. This is the basic concept of fusion bonding but there are two different types of the fusion method known as hot and cold fusion. Fusion human hair extensions are considered a form of permanent hair extensions as they can last between 3 to 6 months. Other methods such as using glue, sewing the extensions in or using tubing normally only last a week to a couple of months depending on method and care.
If the process of fusion bonding is completed properly by an experienced, licensed professional hair stylist then the hair extensions will appear natural and are completely non-damaging to the scalp and your natural hair. To go back to the two different systems of fusion- hot and cold fusion, both of these techniques produce long lasting and natural results. Both of the techniques attach the hair extensions in small bundles with a glue or protein bond close to the scalp. Hot fusion is the more common of the two and the small hair bundles are attached with either glue or keratin with a special heating tool that bonds the extensions. Cold fusion is typically used for fine or thin hair as it is the less damaging of the two methods. The extension hair is attached in the same way but no heat is used, instead a sonic attachment tool is used to bond the hair.
Fusion bonding is a popular method because this technique used only human hair which is available in all sorts of colours and textures so you can be sure that your extensions will match your natural hair. When the fusion extensions are applied properly, styled and cut then they will blend perfectly in with your own hair for a natural look. These extensions are generally more long-lasting than other techniques. You should expect fusion hair extensions to last between 3 to 6 months with proper care and maintenance. Even if you have fine or thin hair you can still treat yourself to hair extensions as fusion can add thickness and length to any type or texture hair.
The biggest disadvantage of fusion hair extensions are the price. They are more expensive than any other bonding methods and you could expect to pay anywhere from ?200 up to ?1,000 depending on the length and thickness that you desire. In some cases people have reported that the bonds that keep their extensions in place have accidently released if they are not properly cared for. Excessive heat styling and oil based styling products can cause the bonds to weaken and come away from the natural hair.
If you decide to go ahead with hair extensions then you should make the decision of how to get them applied on the basis of your own personal needs and desires coupled with the advice of a professionally trained stylist. Fusion hair extensions are not cheap but with hair extensions you really do get what you pay for. These are the most natural looking hair extensions on the market and when applied properly they can give you the hair that you’ve always dreamed of.
